shouldent be a problem at all, hks t51 comes in a few differant models so suiting one for an rb 30 should be easy. first you should decide what you want from your engine and select a model you need. hks t51 come in 2 modles the t51kai and t51spl. kai is good for 800ps and spl for 1000+. prices vary depending which model you choose. there are also the usual ball bearing and non-ball bearing choice. other than that all you need is a manifold/ headers and to up grade every thing else.(fuel system, ecu, modify intercooler plumbing, oil pump rods and pistons.) it would be wise to spend a few bucks as doing it on the cheap could lead to a lot of problems. you would need a fairly strong engine as that turbo/rb30 combo could generate a lot of power.

Too big for what ???

One must qualify one's thoughts :D

In other words- what are you going to be using the car for ??

Tells us as a percentage ?

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
